Badgers Cricket Club – Home Page

A warm and friendly welcome from Badgers Cricket Club – a wandering cricket side who play only friendly cricket matches, mostly in the villages of Surrey – and who also enjoy a yearly three day tour (for many years to the Cotswolds, briefly to Dorset, for several years to Cheshire and more recently we have wandered in our touring too, taking in visits to Cheltenham, Taunton, Canterbury, Worcester and Milton Keynes). For more information about the club and this web site, take a peek at the about page.

The site continues to grow in scope, despite having made its first appearance twenty-six years ago in March 2000, and in addition to up-to-the-minute results, summary scorecards, detailed scorecards, match reports and fixtures, you will also find more statistical information than you could shake a stick at (going all the way back to the club’s inaugural season in 1959), the Badgers ‘Honours Board’, a list of the current club officers and links to our social media ‘presence’.



What’s New

29 May 2026

PLEASE NOTE that we are unable to raise a team for this coming Sunday and thus have had to disappoint Hook & Southborough. Things are not looking all that much better for the following couple of weeks either so please make sure that you update the availability spreadsheet whenever you are able.

A baking hot day on Headley Heath saw the Badgers return to play there for the first time in fifteen years and notch up our third win of the season. The usual summarised details of the game can be found on the results page along with a statistical notes only match report, the detailed scorecard, and the traditional Badgers’ focused scorecard.

PLEASE NOTE that Darrell has found us a fixture for this coming Sunday when we will be making a return visit to Headley Heath for the first time since the 2011 season. Usual details, including map links, can be found on the fixtures page.

Our latest visit to Dormansland, for the 63rd contest between the two sides, took place last Sunday in conditions much more conducive to a game of cricket, and watching same, than the previous week on Ham Common. The usual summarised details of the game can be found on the results page along with a statistical notes only match report, the detailed scorecard, and the traditional Badgers’ focused scorecard.

16 May 2026

A bitterly cold Ham Common saw the Badgers fall to their first defeat of the season last Sunday in a high scoring contest. The usual summarised details of the game can be found on the results page along with a statistical notes only match report, the detailed scorecard, and the traditional Badgers’ focused scorecard.

PLEASE NOTE that I have also updated the previous statistical notes to reflect the fact that Mark’s diving one handed catch at slip in the Churchleigh game was his 500th catch for the club in games that counted towards the averages. Quite why this feat was not on my list of pending milestones I cannot say, but my apologies to the skipper for not acknowledging it at the time.

The older What’s New entries are now held on separate pages, to keep this main page cleaner and smaller, and you can also navigate to them using the drop down menus at the top of the page (under Badgers’ Burrow).
